Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 9, 1914. Serial No. 870,968.

T all whom it may concern Be it known that we, VIc'ron ,KRAMP and MaxNiacin-1n, citizens of'the United States of America, residing, atToledo, Lucas county, ()hio, ha veinvented a new and useful Sewing-Lamp,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to illumination directing mechanism.

This invention has utility when incorporated in a lamp support inconnection with sewing machines.

Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a orthe side of a sewing machinearm opposite the operator, having the lamp support adapted thereto; Fig.2 is a plan view of the lamp support features disconnected from thesewing r chine arm; and Fig. 3 is a front view of he lamp supportpositioned forward of the sewing machine arm,,the arm being shown indotted lines.

The arm 1, say of a power sewing machine, is provided with the usualopening for access to the working parts from the rear side of the sewingmachine head. Just above said opening is the screw 2 p'ivotally mountingthe side cover plate 3 upon the sewing machine arm 1. The .cover plate 3is provided centrally of its outer face with the clamp 4 having thethumb nut 5 adjustable to frictionally grip the support section 6. Thesupport embodies the supporting section (3, the offset section 7 and thedrop termination 9 carrying the lamp 10 provided with a reflector orshade 11. The support sections 6, 7, 8, combine to form a return bandoutline sufficient to easily clear the arm 1 when the lamp is usedforward of the arm 1. The top pivot 2, being above the clamp 4, and thesupport having an outward extension therei' rom.temls to swingdownward.This downward drop of the lamp 10 is limited by the stop 12 engaging theside of the opening in the arm to hold theplate 3. However, as thislimits only the downward swing of the support, the machine operator mayeasily at any time shift the lam for use of the light in front of thearm mm the normal position back of tho arinidirccting the light raysupon the worleboing sewed. Lifting of the lamp 10, will ook the plate 3upon its pivot.

2, as shown dotted lines, Fig. 1, and when the lamp 10'is high enough toclear the arm .be in such 1, it may be pulled forward, as permitted bythe frictional clamp 4, to the desired POSI- tion forward .of the arm 1,to enable the operator to do hand-sewing with good light, or any otherduties incidental to the handling of the machine. forward constitutes auniversal joint or mounting for the lamp support.

As positioned, the most advantageous location as to the Work being done,is entirely out of the way as to the material being handled or operatedupon, and in no way encumhers the machine or table space. The clamp 4permits of such height adjustment as may be desired. Vith electric lamp10. the flexible conductors 13 may extend from some plug 14: to be awayfrom interference with the machine manipulation or operatio Forinspection of the machine mechanism below the table, the head may berocked backward, and the lamp back of the machine proximity to the arinas to permit such tilting of the arm. The normal use of the cover plate3 is still permitted.

The device may be readily attached to the sewing machine by the screw 2or the support by the clamp 4, and as easily removed.

What is claimed and it is desired to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A machine arm, a side cover therefor pivotally mounted to swing inits plane, a clamp on the cover plate, a return This swinging up anddisposed lamp may be at the. I

plate bend support mounted by said clamp to-- swing in a planetransverse of the plane of the cover plate and rockable with the coverplate to permit movement from one side of tion back of the arm, andmeans permitting "rocking of the support as to the arm for bringing thelamp in position in front of v the arm by swinging the lamp over thearm.

In witness whereof we aflix our signatures in the presence of twowitnesses.

MAX NEUBER.
